Ok, what kind of excuse can I make up for such a stupid reply?

Anyway, I read in some blog post about DC-offset issues when piping data
between mulitimon and rtl_fm. The author claimed to fix the problem by
adding a pole-zero filter inbetween. So it a surpirse to read about using
the programs without removing DC.

Could the new version of rtl_fm apply some offset that previously was not
preset?

It might be possible for you to compare the outputs to get a better
understaning of why your commande pipeline hase ceased to work.
